Download the Ministerial Authorization Document for the creation of the University (PDF, in French) Background of the project At the beginning of October 2017, the founders of the EENI Susana Fernández and Pedro Nonell, visited Burkina Faso (West Africa), to hold a meeting with the Minister of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation of Burkina Faso, Professor Alkassoum Maiga (Horseman of the National Order), and with the Directress of Universities, Professor Sessouma, in addition to her team, to coordinate the upcoming opening of U-EENI University in Africa. We want to thank the Minister and all his staff, the kindness with which they received us, and the facility to create the university in Ouagadougou. From left to right, T.Somda, Mss Sessouma, Mss Fernández, the Minister Alkassoum Maiga and P. Nonell We would like to thank our partner, the entrepreneur and professor Thierry Somda (one of our first students in Burkina), the excellent planning he has done. Professor Somda will be the General Secretary of the University. PhD Geneviève Barro will be the future Rector of the University. PhD Barro is the current Director of the Doctorate in Business in Africa of the EENI. He has been working with our institution for more than five years. From left to right, T.Somda, G.Barro, Susana Fernández and P. Nonell The creation of the U-EENI University in Africa is part of our global higher education project and our commitment to Africa.
The Directors of the EENI meets with many of our Burkinabe students (West Africa), all of whom were invited to participate and give their opinion on the future university. We also want to thank them for their enthusiasm for the new project. Also, several diplomas were awarded for masters and doctorates. Mahamadi Kinda (Burkina) Master EENI and S.Fernández Alix-Arnaud (Burkina) Master EENI and P. Nonell We would also like to thank the Honorary Consul of Burkina in Barcelona, Mr Josep Mª Simón Comalada for his help and cooperation. The EENI has taken into consideration several parameters to select Burkina as a country to create the University and fulfil its mission of facilitating the access to higher education for all the African people at affordable prices. Burkina Faso offers us important advantages:
Since 2009 the EENI has been teaching several Masters of Science in International Business in Burkina. The EENI currently has many students in Burkina Faso. In our opinion, the students of the universities in Burkina Faso have an excellent academic background.
The Burkinabe people are charming; are, as the motto of their country says, the country of upright men. Burkina has enormous potential for both the domestic market (tree motorcycle factories, six cement factories and five breweries), as a platform for access to West African Markets. Given the complex situations in some of the countries of the region, such as Guinea or Ivory Coast, Burkina can be a significant market in West Africa, and an excellent place for the establishment of companies with interests in West and Central Africa.
